| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are themselves multiplexeres.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | adds various options to cifs_show_options (displayed when you cat /proc/mounts with a cifs mount). I limited the new ones to values that are associated with the mount with the exception of "seal" (which is a per tree connection property, but I thought was important enough to show through). Eventually cifs's parse_mount_options also needs to be rewritten to use the match_token API but that would be a big enough change that I would prefer that changing parse_mount_options wait until next release.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Replace remote_llseek with generic_file_llseek_unlocked (to force compilation failures in all users) - Change all users to either use generic_file_llseek_unlocked directly or take the BKL around. I changed the file systems who don't use the BKL for anything (CIFS, GFS) to call it directly. NCPFS and SMBFS and NFS take the BKL, but explicitely in their own source now. I moved them all over in a single patch to avoid unbisectable sections. Open problem: 32bit kernels can corrupt fpos because its modification is not atomic, but they can do that anyways because there's other paths who modify it without BKL. Do we need a special lock for the pos/f_version = 0 checks? Trond says the NFS BKL is likely not needed, but keep it for now until his full audit. v2: Use generic_file_llseek_unlocked instead of remote_llseek_unlocked and factor duplicated code (suggested by hch) Cc: Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com Cc: swhiteho@redhat.com Cc: sfrench@samba.org Cc: vandrove@vc.cvut.cz Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

* [CIFS] Fix potential data corruption when writing out cached dirty pagesJeff Layton2007-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix RedHat bug 329431 The idea here is separate "conscious" from "unconscious" flushes. Conscious flushes are those due to a fsync() or close(). Unconscious ones are flushes that occur as a side effect of some other operation or due to memory pressure. Currently, when an error occurs during an unconscious flush (ENOSPC or EIO), we toss out the page and don't preserve that error to report to the user when a conscious flush occurs. If after the unconscious flush, there are no more dirty pages for the inode, the conscious flush will simply return success even though there were previous errors when writing out pages. This can lead to data corruption. The easiest way to reproduce this is to mount up a CIFS share that's very close to being full or where the user is very close to quota. mv a file to the share that's slightly larger than the quota allows. The writes will all succeed (since they go to pagecache). The mv will do a setattr to set the new file's attributes. This calls filemap_write_and_wait, which will return an error since all of the pages can't be written out. Then later, when the flush and release ops occur, there are no more dirty pages in pagecache for the file and those operations return 0. mv then assumes that the file was written out correctly and deletes the original. CIFS already has a write_behind_rc variable where it stores the results from earlier flushes, but that value is only reported in cifs_close. Since the VFS ignores the return value from the release operation, this isn't helpful. We should be reporting this error during the flush operation. This patch does the following: 1) changes cifs_fsync to use filemap_write_and_wait and cifs_flush and also sync to check its return code. If it returns successful, they then check the value of write_behind_rc to see if an earlier flush had reported any errors. If so, they return that error and clear write_behind_rc. 2) sets write_behind_rc in a few other places where pages are written out as a side effect of other operations and the code waits on them. 3) changes cifs_setattr to only call filemap_write_and_wait for ATTR_SIZE changes. 4) makes cifs_writepages accurately distinguish between EIO and ENOSPC errors when writing out pages. Some simple testing indicates that the patch works as expected and that it fixes the reproduceable known problem.

| * Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

* [CIFS] UID/GID override on CIFS mounts to SambaSteve French2007-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CIFS Unix Extensions are negotiated we get the Unix uid and gid owners of the file from the server (on the Unix Query Path Info levels), but if the server's uids don't match the client uid's users were having to disable the Unix Extensions (which turned off features they still wanted). The changeset patch allows users to override uid and/or gid for file/directory owner with a default uid and/or gid specified at mount (as is often done when mounting from Linux cifs client to Windows server). This changeset also displays the uid and gid used by default in /proc/mounts (if applicable). Also cleans up code by adding some of the missing spaces after "if" keywords per-kernel style guidelines (as suggested by Randy Dunlap when he reviewed the patch).
